Provenance
Every capture is cryptographically signed and bound to the time and place it was taken. Tamper-evident by construction — you can verify the proof, not just trust it.
Physical-world verification, on demand
Verified eyes on any place, asset, or site on earth.
Groundtruth is a global verification marketplace for risk, due-diligence, and inspection teams. Post a geo-pinned bounty, a vetted local captures it on-site, and you receive photo and video with cryptographic provenance and automated anti-fraud screening — in hours, anywhere, at a fraction of an inspector's cost.
Early access for risk & verification teams. No spam — we'll reach out to set up a pilot.
Built for the decisions that rest on places you can't see
- Supplier & factory audits
- Collateral & asset checks
- Property & site condition
- Counterparty due-diligence
- Insurance-adjacent inspection
How it works
From question to verified proof in hours.
No inspectors to fly in, no stale imagery, no self-reported claims you can't check. Three steps, anywhere on earth.
-
1
Post a bounty
Drop a pin on the exact location, describe what to verify, and set a USDC reward. A $50–$500 bounty replaces a $2,000 inspector and a two-week wait.

2
A vetted local captures it
A screened reporter near the site accepts, goes on location, and captures the photo or video first-hand — signing it to a staked identity as they shoot.

You get verified proof
The media arrives with cryptographic provenance — when and where it was taken — after passing automated anti-fraud screening. Release payment only when satisfied.
Why it's trusted
Trust from economics and cryptography — not someone's word.
Anyone can send you a photo. In a world where AI can fabricate any image, that's worthless. Groundtruth's trust layer is built on four pillars that a competitor can't copy by cloning a UI.
Staked reputation
Reporters post a bond on every job. Fraudulent or fabricated work gets slashed. Reputation is earned economically and it's expensive to fake — not a star rating.
Anti-fraud screening
AI-generated, recycled, or doctored media is flagged by automated screening — image-provenance checks, duplicate detection, and AI-generation detection — before it ever reaches you.
Privacy by design
Pseudonymous by default, with no personal-data honeypot to leak or subpoena and no standing surveillance surface. Privacy here is structural, not a policy bolted on — and it doubles as an abuse firewall built into the product.
Who it's for
Two sides, one verified truth.
For customers
Risk, due-diligence, procurement, and inspection teams who make decisions on places and assets they can't physically reach.
- Verify a supplier's factory, a borrower's collateral, or a site's condition on demand
- Coverage anywhere there's a smartphone — not just cities you can staff
- Results in hours at ~10–100× less than flying in an inspector
- Proof you can defend: signed provenance plus anti-fraud screening
For reporters
Vetted locals who turn a short walk with a phone into paid work — no bank account or crypto experience required.
- Accept bounties near you and get paid in USDC on completion
- Embedded wallet hides the crypto — payments feel instant and simple
- Gas-free: you never pay a transaction fee to earn
- Build a slashable, portable reputation that unlocks bigger jobs
